HELLO YOYO YELLOW

I really should be cleaning house and setting up for tonight's weSTAMP meeting (we're swapping tonight so watch for a post with our swap cards within the next day or so). I started this card late last night, and just couldn't move on to other things until I finished it and posted it.

I used two of my favorite challenges to create this card ... 1) Stacey's Jewelry Color Inspiration Challenge #43 of YoYo Yellow, Kiwi Kiss, Pink Pirouette, and Very Vanilla. I can't tell you the last time I even touched YoYo Yellow! I'm a sucker for an unusual color combo so this was right up my alley! ... and 2) this awesome Mojo Monday Sketch #93.This stamp set, Pretty Amazing, is retiring today. It has always been one of my favorites, and I can't believe how short lived it was. Click HERE to see other cards I've created using this stamp set.

Oh my goodness, Nancy! This is a delicious card! Your take on the colors and mojo sketch ARE amazing! Loving that peek of yoyo yellow with the scalloped edge punch! Thanks for sharing your creation for the JCI43!

Wow I would have never thought to put these colors together....I love it and love the felt flowers. I had a workshop last week and demoed this set with the matching background and sold to all five guests....It's amazing it's retiring and am sorry to see it go!TFS

When I first saw the swatch at the top of your post, I wondered what they were thinking and how anyone could pull off those awful colors together... but you did it! It's beautiful! Thanks for sharing! ~:-)

this card's posting was very providential, as i found out just shortly after seeing it that i needed a sympathy card. the layout worked out well--i copied your changes--so thanks for posting and including the sketch from Julee!
